In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

In this art-related activity, learners make a coin rubbing—a process similar to what archeologists may do with ancient artifacts. This activity can be used in connection with a history or art lesson.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

In this activity, learners "dance" (move back and forth at varying speeds) by reading a graph. This is a kinesthetic way to help learners interpret and understand how motion is graphed.

In this activity, learners overlap the three primary colors to see how all other colors are made.

In this Cyberchase activity, use grid coordinates to share secret pictures with a friend. Color squares of a grid to make a picture (like a smiley face) that you keep hidden from the other person.

In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.

In this activity, learners create three-dimensional shapes by making some origami models of simple boxes and containers.

In this math lesson, learners follow step-by-step directions for making tangram pieces out of folded and torn paper. First, learners read "Grandfather Tang's Story" by Ann Tompert.

Build time sense into the schedule by asking learners to predict what can happen in a certain amount of time: We have 20 minutes before outdoor time. What can you get done?

In this activity, learners create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

In this activity, learners use pattern blocks and mirrors to explore symmetry. Learners work in pairs and build mirror images of each other's designs.

In this activity, learners investigate balance and symmetry by designing a symmetrical butterfly, using a paper cutout.

In this math activity, learners make toothpick designs by following simple patterns.

In this math activity, learners sort patterns into similar "families" or groups that have the same pattern, but different symbols.

In this activity related to nanotechnology, learners observe some of the effects that result from creating a thin layer of material several nanometers thick.

In this hands-on activity, learners make New Year's Eve party hats out of wrapping paper. Learners use symmetry and measurement to cut out shapes they need to assemble the hats.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners make carpenter's squares and use them to measure square corners. Learners cut out the carpenter's square template and attach it to tagboard.
